[Shotimes] Should I destroy a 91+??

[Midwest SHO Specialists SHOtimes]

Well thank you for your opinion Ron.  I suppose that it doesn't count that I
have already said multiple times that I spoke without knowing all the
details, and I have also apologized to Al in several different emails that
were all posted to this list.  If you would have read them you would have
known.  I'm sorry you won't be buying any of our stuff.  You'll be missing
out on some cool items.

As for my car, I've put that much into it for much the same reason SHO
people put money into there SHOs and that is for the love of the car.  My
car may not be as fast as most of the SHO's although it is close (15.7@
92mph), but it will out handle a good chuck of them easily.  I have owned 6
SHOs and currently can't afford to own one myself because of some financial
problems, but that doesn't bother me none.  I love my car despite what
everyone else says.  She's my baby.
